The paper presents principles of implantation as well as clinical and radiological results of hemispheric hydroxyapatite coated cups use in total hip replacement. Eighty-seven patients (60 females, 27 males) aged from 16 to 72 years (mean 49 years) underwent 96 total hip replacements with the use of 51 ABG and 45 OCTOFIT hemispheric cups. Clinical results were satisfactory with an average Harris Hip Score of 89 to 91 at final follow-up. We have found total ingrowth and osteointegration of nearly all cups. In one case of acetabular reconstruction with bone grafts cup migration has been observed and revision was necessary.
